   Core Engine Upgrade: Lifecycle & Safety

   Core Engine Upgrade: Lifecycle & Safety

   • Added listenForAppLifecycleChanges property (defaulting to true) to BarcodeKeyboardListener to automatically pause background hardware scanning when the app enters the background (e.g. AppLifecycleState.paused), and resume it when returning to the foreground.
   • Changed enableDebugLogs default in BarcodeScannerConfig from true to false for better production readiness out of the box.
   • Fixed a potential crash in _onGlobalFocusChanged where context was accessed after the widget was disposed.
   • Fixed a stale static reference issue in BarcodeKeyboardService where calling dispose() on a paused service left the singleton pointer intact.
   • Hardened internal stream tearing down to eliminate stale subscription references on widget updates.
   • Added documentation regarding BarcodeFormat.upcE detection behavior and limitations with raw HID payloads.

   Core Engine Upgrade: Exclusive Handler Guard

   Core Engine Upgrade: Exclusive Handler Guard

   • Added static ownership tracking (_activeInstance) to BarcodeKeyboardService.
   • Guarantees that only one hardware keyboard handler is active globally at any time, preventing duplicate scan broadcasts across persistent navigation views.

   Declarative UI Upgrade: autoPauseOnFocus

   • Added autoPauseOnFocus property (defaulting to true) to BarcodeKeyboardListener.
   • Automatically pauses background hardware scanning whenever an input text field (EditableText) gains focus.
   • Integrated automatic route visibility checks (ModalRoute.isCurrent), ensuring hidden routes never steal scanner ownership.
